The full moon is Feb 3rd, 2015 on Little Cayman. This fact alone is enough to get some of the residents of this Caribbean island very excited, and you should too. Over the next few days, guests at the Little Cayman Beach Resort can expect to see schools of Nassau Groupers moving West towards a special place known as the “Grouper Hole” or ” the Aggregation Site. ” Divers may notice something very different going on right away, as they watch the parade of schooling Nassau Groupers swimming along the reef walls, in group of up to 50. Normally Nassaus are very territorial and divers will only see one or two in any one dive site. Divers may also see these huge fish flashing their mating colors – with dark hues on top, contrasted with white bellies on the bottom and a thin white stripe going through their eye. This dramatic transformation happens only during the mating season, which is starting now.

This life sustaining activity of the Nassau Groupers here on Little Cayman Island, is tied to the Full Moon. Five to eight days after the full moon in February is when activity heats up below the surface of the sea, approximately a mile offshore in area protected by the Cayman government. On land, during the next two weeks, scientists will be giving presentations about the Grouper Moon Project at the Little Cayman Beach Resort and other locations. The excitement is felt both above and below the surface!
